Enjoy the flavors of Herzegovina - Slow Food Trebinje, Herzegovina

If you head from low Herzegovina from Trebinje, through Ljubinje, Berković, Bileća to high Herzegovina Gacka, Kalinovik and Nevesinje, you will encounter hosts who spend their lives united with nature in struggle and love. That struggle with great love has transmitted knowledge through the ages that created some of the products that are unique in the world, such as bellows cheese.

Go from the legend to the scene. Leave the cities behind for a moment and visit rural Herzegovina. Visit Morine - Herzegovinian Tibet, Čemerno, Volujak and Lebršnik, Gacko, Nevesinje, Trusina, experience Herzegovina the way Herzegovinians have lived since time immemorial, figuring out how to make enough for life from little. How to turn the harsh into the tame.

In stone, in the ridges of Dinara, on the slopes of the low and high Dinarides, there is special grazing for Herzegovinian cattle from Gacka and Pramenka sheep. This unique mountain range gave birth to bellows cheese, a special cultural heritage of these regions. The art of making the mixture is a craft that has been preserved for centuries, and is considered to be perhaps the oldest attempt to preserve dairy products for a long period of time. Bellows cheese is a candidate for the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage of the world.

On the road of cheese and honey of Eastern Herzegovina, you will feel as if you are traveling through time - as if you are on the road "following the footsteps of your ancestors".
